Television

Probably 50's even

sweet darling is this a new art form,photographs of juxtaposed ,junk...i have a idea for a new concept of art road kill,photograph lots of dead things in juxtaposed positions might not sell be it would be powerfull,slow down boys

I have a tv that looks likr that and the thing still works ..well with rabbit ears ...

What a neat, nostalgic piece. I'd love to have a set like that (well, one that isn't overturned and broken).

The one I have is from 1954 i got it for $20 about 10 yrs ago

The person who destroyed it is an asshole...

What Cyrus said. Some of the stuff in these places should be in museums not rotting and vandalised. Makes for a powerful shot though! I see things like this and always wonder who was the last person to watch it, what was being shown. The personal significance of ordinary objects.

I hear ya rich. Then I think to myself, what was the smacktard who broke this thinking?

Where I never broke one myself, I've seen others do it. You get a large rock and throw it at the screen. Upon impact, it makes a loud noise with gray dust particles flying around.

The set pictured here I'll wager was made between '58 and '63. Older sets have a more rounded screen. Newer sets have a UHF channel selector.

If you look close you can see a stereo to the right ( top) of the picture tube and a turn table hanging out under it, i have a similar coffe table, with the stereo and turntable in a drawr, that was made in 1966.

it's odd how much stuff is left in these buildings...like nothing was taken at all when the hospital closed, they just up and left.

is that a Zenith,???

My mom had a tv like that and used it up until a couple of years ago.

I'm with Puddleboy on this. I'd say it's '58-'63 range. Nice set (was anyway.)

you broke it ,didnt you look for the model stamp inside ,search it in the web and see how much money ,you lost.you fools...

i remember when the first tv came into my hometown. we owned it and we had a slew of people over everynight. these thngs weighed a ton.

love 60's tv's

that is so sad to see a old tv go like that that would be worth $

my granny had one of this kind and i loved to watch the old enterprise series with cpt.kirk on that old tv. : )

i'd rather sit and watch this tv the way it is now than when it worked propely anyway...

What a waste. It'd be nice if I mod this into a [H]ot PC, with cool LCD replacing the tv tube!

Your right, Hallucinator . That old Cabinate could hold some modern day electronics. That would be cool. To bad it's wrecked. It probably worked when left there.

How many good times this old TV set would give to patients?... their only window to the outside world... but anyway, not the real.

Damn shame some crackhead jacked up this fine piece of history, probably $400.00 worth of quality reusable cabinet there. Frigin Jerks.....

It s like that grey metal thing - near TV - is eating it !!!!!!!

This is a TV and Radio combo from the late 1950's. Looks like a Philco or an RCA model.
That dark gray thing is probably a VCR.

this tv has been ripped apart rectley only thing thats left is the frame sadley

The vibrant colors in here are fantastic!

Aaaaw. Why the hell do people think they have to destroy everything? That T.V. probably looked cool.

My father was a TV repair man in the 50's and 60's and I remember these sets vividly. That door under the picture tube was a phonograph, you can see the tone arm hanging down. This probably played 78's MAYBE 45's. The other side probably held a AM/FM radio. This was the late 50's answer to an entertainment center. There were no VCR's at the time. We were the first ones on the block to have color TV and I remember everyone coming over Sunday night to watch "Disney's Wonderful World of Color" show as it was called, Tinkerbell would fly around and splash color all over, it was a BIG THING back then!! One of the few shows broadcase in color. And the proper way to "deactivate" a picture tube is from the back. Just snap off the end of the long thin tube and you'll hear the suction going in. Doing it from the front either with a rock or your foot makes it "implode" as the inside is a vacuum. (I learned a lot from my dad!)

Now that I look again, the radio was at the top next to the television, so that second door underneath was probably for record storage. I doubt it was equipped with Stereo as that didn't arrive until 59 or so.

Thats mine now (evil face)

Is that HI-DEF?

Wowwy this scares me to death

I love TV

I love watching tv
